Forum Addiction

[julia]

Do you have forum addiction, i think i do, i have heard somewhere in Romania, they have treatment for that. I spend all my free time after work, on forums, is this normal ? I love forums, and that's all i care about. I never had a hobby that serious.

Yep, you got the bug ;)

Post this message at three am, drunk, screaming because there have been no new posts in the last five minutes and we'll know you're certified.

The problem is i don't care about my job anymore, i just go, and i used to love my work, also i had all these dreams of PHD, all that i don't care, and i have to study spanish, i flunked the test, and i don't want to study, it's addiction, i need some help.
I am not sitting only on my forum, i go to 3 or 4 daily, hourly...

[Ohiosweetheart]

only 3 or 4 forums?? you're not properly addicted yet.
Just wait til you've wracked up a list of 15 or more that you visit daily or every other day at the least... then you'll know you're truly addicted!

Peggy, I know you're addicted. I see you all over cyberspace and you always have about seventy zillion posts on every board.

Maybe we could create your own "12 step program" forum for you to run. Nah, that'd be like asking a drunk to run an AA meeting ;)

It will pass with time. I used to be addicted in a way...but now I almost have to make myself sit down and look at a computer.

I guess that comes from having to do it for a living(computers/servers/etc...) When I get home from work its almost the last thing I want to do. If it werent for the feeling of "obligation" I probably would just sleep instead.

LOL :D

I have restricted access from work, so i can't go to anything slash forum, or blog. Does anyone have the same problem, and how do you deal with it?

So I go where I wish. But then again I had added to my contract a personal DSL line at work so that I could do all of my playing off network. And they have the added benefit of a happy employee who can use the DSL connection as a backup if the T-1 fails. I am with Zero though, at home, my computers are becoming the object of dust collection fantasies. I rarely use the computer at home, unless I have run out of fun things to do, like laundry or cleaning the toilet.

Welcome to the club, you need to meet Nintendo! :eek:

I go through periods of "Can't get enough", then I don't want to deal with them for awhile. So, I guess I would say, I'm a borderline addict.
